J2EE Agent Specific Application for Housekeeping
Tasks

Starting with this release of J2EE agents, a bundled application is
available to perform housekeeping tasks on the deployment container.

This bundled application, when deployed on an agent-protected deployment
container instance, expands the agent’s functionality. For example,
this bundled application allows the agent to receive notifications and to
support cross-domain single sign-on. In previous releases, this functionality
was tied to an application referred to as the primary application,
which was secured by the agent.

Benefit - Agent Specific Application for Housekeeping
Tasks: The benefit of including this application with J2EE agents
is that previously imposed restrictions have been removed from the primary
application. In prior releases of J2EE agents, the primary application had
to support such housekeeping tasks, often requiring additional configuration.
For instance, in prior releases, deploying the primary application with blind
web-tier declarative security required changes to the agent configuration
to ensure that the agent would function properly. This additional configuration
is not necessary with the current release since the agent-specific application
for housekeeping tasks takes care of all such functionality.
